Nope, on the case below the generator stand.
And another point. If you see a place milled out where the engine number should
be or actually is, this is a sign that it is a "factory rebuilt" case. They
machined out the original number, and then stamped in the letter designation of
the type, "H=1500 bug, U=1600 injecton T3, X=1600 low compression T3" etc. but
did not put a number in. The mechanic was supposed to stamp in the orginal
number from the customer's old engine.
